Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): My question is again to the Minister for Health. Has the government had talks with any private sector parties on the future of the Repat Hospital or the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre sites?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:31): Certainly, we have had some approaches, or I have had very low-key approaches from some healthcare providers who are interested in the site. I made quite clear to them that, with regard to the future of the site, the government will develop a process and they will be able to participate in that process and put proposals to the government. But there will be a very rigorous process around this. No decisions have been made other than what I have said; that is, the site will continue to be used for aged care, healthcare and community purposes.
